[Collins] 160 meter coil for 75A-4 receiver

[JOE]

The problem is that my friend had put some substantial power into the coil 
and it is completely damaged, coil form and all are cooked.  He really 
needs a new coil from a junker radio, if I can locate one.

73, and Thanks for the info,

Joe, K1ike
